Just off Skype from 7-10am with Dima from the Ukraine. Oh my…. I have travel date for Oksana, I leave November 11th. Unfortunately, because the SDA is not giving court dates readily as they were before this whole shut-down happened, I could be sitting there thru the 30th. We have chosen not to wait until the court date, to just get the process going and return for court. I would travel again January 4th, returning the 21st, hopefully. I would go to court right away and then wait the 10 day waiting period, and come home with Oksana on the 21st. That’s the short version, and if it all goes well when I return. As we know, nothing is for sure over there and ALWAYS plan for the unexpected!
As of now, I am booked to return the 17th barring no hang ups or weather problems… that’s a risk! But, Dima also flies on the 17th to the states but on a different plane as he flies to Boston and then to Dulles.
Oh Lord!!! Finally we are getting underway with her. We have been in touch with a lawyer in the Ukraine at the same time to see if we can get Tolek, Valera’s ½ brother. Can’t say much more on that now.
What a wild ride this has all been. Last night while we were sitting at dinner Valera said again, “Poppa, can ve pray that momma has baby, I wanna that momma has baby, I lika babies poppa they so cute!” Arlin laughed out loud, “oh really son, so you want momma to have a baby?”
“Yes poppa, they looks so cute mum, I wanna momma have baby.” What does momma say about that? No comment!
I wish I had more time to tell a recent funny story, but he’s home and it’s homework time! Chat more later. J Oh but wait, I have to tell you what he said the other night while we were praying before bed.
“Mum, I so glad God givva to me dis one mum, Holy Spirit. I’m so glad mum. Yu know vhat mum? I tinking about heaven all the time mum. Is heaven purty mum? “
“oh yes honey, it is beautiful there!”
“Mum I can’t vait to see heaven mum!! But mum, you get to see heaven befora me mum.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because mum, you bigga den me and you dieda first, I’m littla den you and I not die.”
“Oh, ok, I see. Thank you for that reality check son!”
Where does he come up with this stuff????
